@starfire2258: Is Facebook secretly building a phone [in Building 8]?

On a cloudy day this May, in the dull fluorescent light of a plain white Google conference room, Rafa Camargo, Richard Wooldridge and Blaise Bertrand told CNET their plan to disrupt the phone market.

Ara, a Lego-like phone with modular parts, would let buyers snap on a better camera, additional batteries or any other creative hardware a developer might dream up. It was set to be the first phone entirely designed by Google, the three men claimed.

But now, all three of those men work for Building 8 — a secretive new division of Facebook. There, they’ve been joined by an impressive list of heavy hitters that reads like a who’s who of the tech world: Motorola, Tesla, Apple and Amazon, in addition to that contingent of Google ex-pats.
